Wonder why Neville
Hill
Has 2 then again they don’t always follow the diagram route. Ideally should be 4 every day. Madness it ain’t

No it was XC drivers from Plymouth that drove Exeter to Castle Cary where they swapped with Bristol men to bring the other one back. With a route conductor.
Don’t mind me asking how do you know all this information. Is it available somewhere to view

It did not return to Neville Hill. xc03 ran empty to Plymouth Laira. This was due to a door interlock issue.

Oh all way from Derby Interesting. Makes sense now for the set swap and extra to Neville hill.

1V54 Dundee Plymouth is a Cross Country HST today, wasn’t yesterday was Monday can anyone confirm is this due purely to The Cheltenham Festival and back to a voyager next week, or have Cross Country seen light and concluded HST’s are better in service than parked at the Depot.

I might have something to do with the sliding door set. Look at post #75. So that they can still have a HST service rather than too many sets being at Laira.

Thanks I will do. Is that the sliding door set that went from Derby ECS to Laira. Also is that still in 6 car formation. It’s a shame with the Laira set they don’t run the Plymouth Edinburgh and back run with that set

Does anyone know why the 1S51 is a voyager not a HST. This means if am right Craignetinny will only have 1 HST tonight.

They can't as it is not fit for traffic at the moment. It was diagrammed to be out this week but isn't due to it being broken.

Because XC03 is on Laira still broken. So either V50 or V54 will be a shortform tomorrow.
It turned out to be 1V54, the 06:32 Dundee - Plymouth that has been shortformed. XC03 is reportedly fixed now though, and is expected to be reintroduced to service on 1S53 13:25 Plymouth - Edinburgh, so we'll see how that goes. I could do with a full complement of HSTs being available tomorrow as I'm planning on catching 1S51!

Ditto, really don't want a voyager to roll in on S51!
